Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It is difficult to comment what the swelling it. It can be an abscess or pus pocket since it is painful. Other than this, it can be soft tissue injury or a herniated disc.
Yes, first consult an orthopedic specialist. You can wait until tomorrow provided he does not strain at all. Let your husband lie on a bed, straight with knees folded or on his side to take the strain off the back. You can gently rub in a local analgesic and apply heat pad. Consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Take care!
